How do I wean myself off 375mg a day of efexor-xr, prescribed for severe depression. I'm being drugged out of my brain.

Answer from DepNet

Unfortunately we are unable to answer any questions relating to treatment issues and specific medications at this forum.

Stopping a prescribed antidepressant is not something that should be done without the support and advice of your doctor. So many issues are to be considered and these can only be fully addressed by your treating doctor.

We strongly recommend that you discuss your intentions with your doctor as soon as possible.
